“Kathy Rain是一款解谜游戏，有着远超平均水平的故事和独特的氛围，解谜部分也不是生硬的内嵌小游戏而是较为合理的关键词查询，虽然结尾部分展露的大量超现实元素使得真相有些扑朔迷离虎头蛇尾，但整个故事仍然可以说是角色生动、情节紧凑。 这个游戏做得最令人满意的地方就在于丰满而有个性的人物（两位主角）塑造，在玩家与所有可交互对象点击互动时，通过对白与举止，轻松能看出2位角色的不同性格。”

Reviews

“Kathy Rain might just be the best adventure game I've played in a long time.”
9/10 – Destructoid

“I had a splendid time with Kathy Rain, and thoroughly enjoyed a game where I couldn’t see where it might be heading. Kathy proves a complex and interesting character, and, well, I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Which is the simplest recommendation of them all.”
Rock, Paper, Shotgun

“A remarkable achievement from a first-time developer, Kathy Rain is an unexpectedly personal gem about a heroine who proves she belongs with the genre’s other big names.”
4.5/5 – Adventure Gamers

About This Game



Set in the '90s, Kathy Rain tells the story of a strong-willed journalism major who has to come to terms with her own troubled past as she investigates the mysterious death of her recently deceased grandfather. Armed with her motorcycle, a pack of cigs, and a notepad, Kathy begins to delve into a local mystery surrounding her hometown that will take her on a harrowing journey full of emotional and personal turmoil.

As she follows a trail of clues he left behind, questions emerge… What was Joseph Rain really looking for that night all those years ago? What turned him into a mere shell of a man, confined to a wheelchair? What secret did a suicidal young artist take with her to the grave, and why are so many people in Conwell Springs going mad? The truth is dark and sinister…
